Standard Practice for Examination of Seamless, Gas-Filled, Pressure Vessels Using Acoustic Emission
Standard Practice for Examination of Seamless, Gas-Filled, Pressure Vessels Using Acoustic Emission
Аннотация
Because of safety considerations, regulatory agencies (for example, U.S. Department of Transportation) require periodic examinations of vessels used in transportation of industrial gases (see Section 49, Code of Federal Regulations). The AE examination has become accepted as an alternative to the common hydrostatic proof test. In the common hydrostatic test, volumetric expansion of vessels is measured.
